 I love me a good falafel. Not sure how authentic this recipe is but it's a world away from the bland, dry dreck served at most kebab outlets. I pan fry them with oil, but you could probably deep fry with this recipe too. I don't have the equipment or the patience for deep frying.
-You can probably get all the ingredients in one trip to the local supermarket. Failing that a healthfood or organics place will definitely be able to supply. Canned chickpeas are fine instead of home-cooked as long as they're of decent quality; they should have some body to them - not mushy. Tahini is optional as someone told me it is quite high in fat. I forgot to put it in the last batch and they turned out fine. It freezes perfectly well so makes a quick and easy weekday meal.
